Every answer you've received has said you can't, but you keep trying to find a way around it.

I know all kinds of "gurus" say create a web of interlocking sites on Wp.com and Tumblr.com etc etc and use them to push traffic to your affiliate links. This will get you suspended here.

So, don't start. Don't even try.

a) How would you recognize if we cloak the affiliate links and keep in wordpress blog?

Get real - they are never going to tell you how they find you and the filters and bots that crawl your site looking for TOS violations - however - after helping in the forum for 3 years or so - they do find the cloaked links and suspend the sites - regular parade of whiners about suspended blogs even with cloaked links

Bottom line - go somewhere else - you will not be happy here and you keep asking about how to violate the TOS - your blogs will be suspended sooner or later

If you maintain a personal blog, you may sparingly use Amazon affiliate links.

In general, affiliate links are not allowed, but we make exceptions for sparse usage of Amazon affiliate links on a per-blog basis.

Any usage of affiliate links outside of the sparse usage of Amazon affiliate links will result in the immediate suspension under our terms of service.

I clearly mentioned in my first post as 'Amazon' and then 'CPA Offers'..

Before U said 'As mentioned, posting affiliate links is a violation of our Terms of Service and will result in account suspension.'

and Now you're saying 'Amazon affiliate links are allowed if they are not the main feature of your blog'

ONE THING TO SAY: I REALLY WONT FULLY FILLED WITH AFFILIATE LINKS, in my post I keep Other website links, amazon affiliate links, cpa affiliate links... In short what Im trying to say is, I just keep affiliate links that are useful..

I feel pity on you guyz...

If you require other advertising, you might be interested in a self-hosted (WordPress.org) installation. There are no restrictions on advertising if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities.

I have niches on 'Dating' , 'weight loss' and some other good niches.. I never work on 'make money online' or 'get rich quick' etc..

so now tell me , can I go ahead using my CPA offers , CJ offers , amazon affiliate links in my posts? Please be clear... (I already read your links which U given me, BUT still I was little confused as those were NOT MUCH clear understanding for me..)

My suggestion would be to hire a web host and then self-host a wordpress site using the software from http://wordpress.ORG where you have virtually no restrictions (although you should carefully review the TOS at the web host). Figure an average monthly cost, all things considered, of $10 to $25.
